We learn from @shizhao (one of CnbloggerCon committee members) that Chinese Blogger Conference 2008 is calling for theme suggestion now. The conference is going to held in Guangzhou on Nov. 15-16 this year. The poll is in Chinese and here is the quick translation:
- A 网志创建和谐社会 – Blogs Creat Harmonious Society
- B 多志兴邦 – More Blogs (Wills), More Flourishing the Country
- C 和谐网志 – Harmonious Blogs
- D 和而不同- Harmonious but Diverse
- E 和而不同，多志兴邦- Harmonious but Diverse, More Blogs (Wills), More Flourishing the Country
- F 网志的个性与社会性 – The Personality and Sociality of Blogs
- G Other- ____________________
You can go here and pick or suggest the theme you like together with your blog URL. I (not stand for CN Reviews) picked B. I think Chinese blogosphere want more diverse voices, but they are not necessary to be harmonious.
What’s your choice of the theme?
I avoided the “harmonious” themes for the same reason as you. It’s interesting to note that choice B provides a twist on the words that Wen Jiabao wrote on the blackboard of Beichuan Middle School after the earthquake, 多难兴邦.

No supporters for “War and Peace”?
I voted for E. What can I say, I like harmonious but grand aspirations.
How about “Harmony through Dissent?”
ZING!
